I think so too. After a life he lived, it was his moment of true freedom. Pushing all mind out of control and trying to settle the score on his own terms.
Indeed, the foe that killed Walter, Carla and a numbers of others is basically told to take a back seat by a guy desire to kill the one who had only made his life worse. Its very cool.
People talk of Iguazu as if he was just a loser, but dude managed to subdue Allmind and Ayre's influence through sheer force of will and was a Gen4 Augmented Human that managed to still maintain his emotions and sensibility (otherwise he wouldn't het that pissed on us doing better than him). Oh and Iguazu is the pilot that managed to face us most times on a single route, dude's more our rival than Rusty.
Nah just a guy with lady luck not on his side. So he basically took the worst situation and become someone who mental power could even put the most deadly power to bed. Credit due to everyone's salty rival.
I can make connections between Iguazu and two characters from Gen 1 AC, those being Wildcat and Stinger. Headhunter uses the MELANDER frame, the MELANDER is a modern version of the Anfang parts, which Wildcat uses in his AC, this is most likely a coincidence since the weapon arrangement is, y'know, different, but still, you never know. Iguazu also went through augmentations, just like Wildcat, although in different circumstances. Instead of going insane and starting to schizopost, Iguazu was just an asshole that was beaten down by Michigan and Volta. MIND-GAMMA is a reverse jointed AC frame that is only made by ALLMIND, nobody else, there was also only one MIND-GAMMA and it was destroyed. Ring any bells? That's right, it's basically Vixen, Stinger's AC (Vixen is a one-off AC, that was made by exclusively one corpo, Chrome, it was a biped that looked reverse jointed, so I should probably dock some points for that.) add to the fact that Iguazu just doesn't like the player in general and also tried to kill you a lot (like Stinger.), and that he also attached himself to a giant newfangled superweapon (like Stinger, again.), he's basically a modern reimagining Stinger. (And yes, the Venom GPACs exist, we can just make the MIND-BETAs as the modern equivalent of that) at least that's what I think...
Correction: Both Iguazu and Volta were physically beaten down by Michigan after he (Iguazu) tried to pick a fight with him (Michigan) before being press-ganged into the Redguns. Although, correct me if I’m wrong, do you actually mean to say “verbally beaten down” as in being mocked and ridiculed relentlessly? Both Michigan and Volta do that to Iguazu, especially if he goes down first in “Attack the Dam Complex (alt)”.
Armored core is good for that in maintaining parallels @@armoredcoreloreenergy rifle? Was a reference to the one in Masters of Arena I think, the main pilot who wanted revenge on 8-Ball for killing his family. They just made it a failure this time.
First and In my opinion, if Iguazu was ever in New Vegas, he'll immediately be hunted by the NCR and Mr House might be gunning his Ass to get him back to get his money back from Iguana
unpopular opinion (maybe?): I actually like iguazu as a character. not to a point where his actions are either justified or reasonable, but how he acts as a person. personally if there was more options or endings around. instead of being friends with Rusty, i see myself being friends with iguazu instead. even if that does lead me to an ending like OldKing From armored core for answer.
We agree, I like Iguazu. He made me love this game more. Maybe three new endings could be added for the Corps and a going rogue or alone. Maybe with Hard Mode being added.
Iguazu, as pathetic as he is, he literally denied his written fate as some generic side character with issues that should be killed off and literally crawled his way to the finish line i.e., the limelight out of sheer pettiness. I would always say, iguazu is not a satisfying final boss narratively speaking such as walter. BUT he is by far one of the most interesting cases of both a character and from a writing point of view.
True given what he has been though and how many times he keeps coming back this character which in other ac games would have been chopped. Is now one 621 greatest threats and just shows just how powerful hate can be in a person.
Became the Final Boss out of sheer spite. He actually had help from Allmind's tech in terms of overpowering her - but that Starscream-level spite is what got him the chance.
Here's the differences with his Original Build and his Second Build Replaces his Shield with the Allmind Laser Orbit Allmind Arms And an Arquebus Generator: VP-20C
I have always thought that Iguazu looks like a stereotypical anime delinquent with coloured hair, not following dress code and some how always having his feet up on the ACs dash.
Honestly, Iguazu was so beneath my attention that when I did the Allmind route, I didn't know who the guy was that had such beef with me in the final fight.
It's after watching this report i realized... Iguazu is the perfect Foil for 621. Both characteristically And through their AC's physically as well. Iguazu- Known for talking out of turn Getting easily rattled. Is just as reckless and impulsive on Mission and Off Mission. Iguazu's AC #1 It's actually a pretty solid build.... which indicates he actually does have the potential that G1 Michigan sees in him to be a damn good pilot. Not just a good foot soldier. A good damn Pilot. But his emotional compulsions get in the way of utilizing his AC to the best of it's capabilities. Iguazu's Second AC through AllMind. The first thing I noticed is that he could have changed anything between the his Redgun AC and Allmind's hand-me-down.... But he kept the same functionality From his weapon platform to the AC build itself. Everything is just upgraded. Why? Why keep it the same but different/better? 621/Raven/G13 Is collected Calculated. Methodical. And apparently he was already a competent enough pilot for Handler Walter to let him run each mission as they saw fit to do so. As long as Walter gets his cut as well. And each success ensures 621's reaployabilty. This isn't my personal cannon through the gameplay structure provided by FromSoftware It's the context we're given from all the other characters talking about 621 and how he's handled his Gen4 Augs. Both 621 and Iguazu are emotionally stunted individuals. But they handle both they're AC's and Missions differently. I don't think it's a mistake or just an easy copy paste on FromSofts part to show us that Iguazu didn't really change his build between AC's While 621/player have the freedom to choose different parts and styles of play.... Man. This fuckin game...❤
Mmm well i think iguazu shares more with evangel then anyone. Both rivals who the ravens keeps beating down while one seeks to become dominate, the other just want to prove himself against a foe who has made his life hell.
Iguazu is the real main character in Armored Core 6. It's funny since he is made out to be a weak pilot but ends up with a boss build. You know you're the main character if you use the Karasawa and giant MT... wait. Nevermind lol, thanks for another beloved lore video!!
Thank you and yes well if we take one theory from loveark into account. If 621 is killed at the battle with snail and iguazu then he would become the main character. Also frighters be proud ha ha.
Ah yes, my beloved tsundere iguana… My headcanon is Michigan is actually a Iguazu father but left him for war on jupiter for years, lonely Iguazu with no father got into gambling then got augmented shenanigans until Iguazu mad when met him because Michigan enjoyed the war more than come back to his family. That explains why he dislikes Michigan more than anyone and Both of their AC use same colors schemes (Also you forgot his second AC that swapped his arms and shield for mind alpha arms and laser drone in first playthrough of mission underground exploration btw)
I just had a thought. Allmind wanted to initiate coral release, and was affected by the same burst of energy that forced Ayre out of her AC... ...is Allmind a c-pulse wave mutation like Ayre?
We are [probably] not a C-pulse wave mutation. Known examples of them, Ayre and Serena, kept within the host's brain. ALLMIND is also accepted as an AI and used to pay C4-621 by all relevant factions. However, it is known that C-pulse mutations can use technology to communicate with the outside world, so it is possible. ADDITIONAL: ALLMIND was hacked at by "Cinder" Carla. This practically proves that ALLMIND is not a C-pulse wave mutation.
@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystem to be fair, Ayre did (in some way) occupy an AC at the same time she was attached to C4-621's brain; hence how she maintained contact. Could just be that Iguazu sent out an EMP that somehow only affected Allmind's and Ayre's ACs, instead of the pilots themselves. That would make some level of sense if 621 avoided the pulse and thus was unaffected. Either way, I hear there's some slots open in the arena. I'd like to register.
I'm gonna say no, BUT - cut lines imply her control of the Ibis-like mech is done by using similar tech, just with captured human brainwaves instead of coral waves. This adds context to why a.) she chose Iguazu over anyone else and b.) why he was able to overpower her - it's that brainwave tech that supercharged his legendary spite into something she couldn't control. I'm also gonna say that drawing parallels between Allmind and Ayre as life forms(?) is intentionally invited on From's part here
I feel like Iguazu is supposed to represent everything that is opposite to rusty. While rusty is willing to die for the people of Rubicon and surpass his limitations, iguazu is willing to sacrifice his humanity in order to defeat 621. The sheer persistent willpower can't be controlled by some rogue AI. Such persistent characters are nothing new to the armored core, we've seen it all the time , zinaida, evangel, blue Magnolia, in any other mecha anime they would've overcome their limitations and might be the protagonist, but this is armored core.... The silent ravens take the victory by skill. On other hand iguazu is like those missile rat players who disconnect their match after losing 😂.
I hope they keep working on AC 6 Fires of Rubicon. These pilots could be fleshed out even more, for example Nightfall. Iguazu is actually one of my favorites dispite the amount of trouble he causes and grief he gets from everyone, and if we could get more choices and endings I know he would be a favorite for others. All of us will have an even better time if they add up to at least three endings for 621 like the Corps and an Old King like ending. Possibly an expansion for Nightfall so we see their story playout since there is alot of history we don't know. Also HARD MODE, this game is to easy.
@@armoredcorelore As usual, another excellent in-depth dive into one of the more interesting characters in AC6. I feel like Iguazu gets kind of a bad rap compared to the rest of the cast, lol.
/Finally Got all achievements in steam; I really feel bad for Iguazu during the final moments of NG++, Michigan and the Red Guns is clearly there and can help him if he actually seeks out yet he drown with his own insecurities and jealousy, Michigan always tries to somewhat cover and make the best of him yet he got blinded by jealousy.
Iguazu didn't envy your freedom. Your didn't have much for quite awhile through the game. Instead he envied you could actually do what you setout to do. Your success. He has been nothing but a failure, in every indeavour he's taken on he has failed. A failed gambler, a failure at beating people up, even a failure at being a pilot and soldier. he never fit in the redguns, he hated being commanded. Volta took awhile but his final message implies he'd come around and saw Michigan as a true leader. But Iguazu wanted to succeed and be his own man. The life of a mercenary seems so great to him. Someone who makes their own choices and lives and succeeds off their skills. Iguazu had the ambition, but lacked the skill, talent and even the personality to be a successful merc. His spite ran his personality too much. He fantasized about beating up Michigan, instead of re-evaluating his life, choices and attitude. And when a new person came around, 621, who was everything he wanted to be and better than him. His spite and pettiness drove him to such lengths that he'd rather hire assassins and team up with ALLMIND, even becoming a part of allamind just to get a leg up. Iquazu is the type of person who fails cause they can't accept they need to change, or are simply not good enough to ruj on their own. So keep doubling down. Doubling down their bets into debt, or doubling down a vendetta until he is a monster. Normally he'd have been easy fodder for 621. A footnote in the journey, but his ambition, willpower, spite and need to prove himself barely kept him alive step by step. Until he'd lost it all, just to kill the guy who had it all.
It's worth noting that throughout his battles he seems to be gaining more Allmind parts. I would've loved to use photo mode to see what he's packing exactly, but I found a post on Reddit commenting on that a while ago.
He switches from a dafeng generator to an arquebus one (likely because he shortfalls on his new parts), he also switches the shield for an orbit unit and allmind arms
AC6 has almost allegorical characters, and I kind of love that about it. Iguazu is a guy all anime fans have met before, somewhere ;) Same goes for Rusy and the others - and that's part of what makes them so powerful.
I realize during your video, it seems that the Coral augmentation surgery always take something from the person undergoing the procedure. I believe that thing that was taken from Iguazu was his sense of logic and reasoning thus why his unrelenting nature; even though the odds are stacked up against him. >_
@@the24thcolossusjustchillin39 I should have been more alert to be honest. I even have gone back now and looked. I can see it clearly when I go into photo mode after I take him out.
@@armoredcorelore how would you say it affects Headbringers playstyle though? Swapping the generator, arms and particularly the shield out seems like it would make it much more aggressive
@@the24thcolossusjustchillin39 I would have to say that unlike the old head bringer this version really is about overpowering a foe. Having run the craft myself now I admit there really is not a defensive style to use with this build. It's a case of the best defence is a good offence for this craft.
Felt annoyed everytime I faced him, no more so than the reveal that he's the final boss. Having this forgettable speedbumb pestering me in lieu of facing more interesting characters made me question why Fromsoft was determined to show him my throat my first playthrourghs. Maybe just coping heavily, but you kinda learn to appreciate Salt-guazu knowing that's reaction the developers wanted you to feel. He's nothing, and his Napoleon complex-sized ego can't stand the Raven/Player's dismissal of him.
I think he could have been used better in the allmind ending to be honest even if he was not the boss or even better worked with 621 to take out allmind. Now that would have been so much better. But personal thought aside, the writing of this character was good, i just think either you embraced him or dread seeing him again as he goes on and on about beating 621.
I immediately started identifying with the guy when AllMom said "Iguazu, you are a disappointment"
I should not laugh, but I did ha ha.
You were...a mistake...iguazu
Irregular
Might have heard that once or twice too 😂 @@shirueto748
Iguazu is a dis- We do not accept the title "ALLMom."
He just like us for real
After all the crap Iguazu was put through, I think he _earned_ the badass distinction of having enough strength of will to hijack ALLMIND.
I think so too. After a life he lived, it was his moment of true freedom. Pushing all mind out of control and trying to settle the score on his own terms.
Character so salty it made an almighty AI regret eating him.
Ha ha.
When he broke free of AllMind just to kill us one on one I felt respect for him. Still hate him, but he’s got priorities

Iguazu had nothing but an improbable series of "lucky" encounters. When his "luck runs out" he proves to be a disappointment.
Ah yes, Ignacious' character is written so well most of us HATE him... and some of us refuse to say his real name. 😂

Iquazu is the type of person who fails cause they can't accept they need to change, or are simply not good enough to ruj on their own. So keep doubling down. Doubling down their bets into debt, or doubling down a vendetta until he is a monster.
Normally he'd have been easy fodder for 621. A footnote in the journey, but his ambition, willpower, spite and need to prove himself barely kept him alive step by step. Until he'd lost it all, just to kill the guy who had it all.

Lizard boy
It's worth noting that throughout his battles he seems to be gaining more Allmind parts. I would've loved to use photo mode to see what he's packing exactly, but I found a post on Reddit commenting on that a while ago.
It is and people already have got a few i think like the battle between snail, 621 and everyone's fav beetle boy.
We allowed him to use our parts to provide real-world information on them, as well as to ingratiate Iguazu to us.
He switches from a dafeng generator to an arquebus one (likely because he shortfalls on his new parts), he also switches the shield for an orbit unit and allmind arms
AC6 has almost allegorical characters, and I kind of love that about it. Iguazu is a guy all anime fans have met before, somewhere ;) Same goes for Rusy and the others - and that's part of what makes them so powerful.
I think media has its share of all these type of characters.
I enjoy this game.i feel bad for him
it is a good game and me too bless him.
I realize during your video, it seems that the Coral augmentation surgery always take something from the person undergoing the procedure. I believe that thing that was taken from Iguazu was his sense of logic and reasoning thus why his unrelenting nature; even though the odds are stacked up against him. >_
Well human plus could make a person go unstable, so it would not surprise me if coral coal could do the same.
Ah, the evolution of Stinger. Well, Stinger is actually funny.
True stinger was a character.

Only the best salt lords and ladies here.
First
BTW Perfect timing for sleep stories
Well I hope you sleep well ha ha
I'm surprised he wasn't named Jordan
I love iguana, he's terrible as a human being
He just wanted some hugs ha ha
Iguazu did nothing wrong.
Acl cancelled. That's it wrap it up ha ha
Is there a reason you didn’t cover the alternate version of Headbringer Iguazu uses in the alternate version of reach the coral conversion?
There is truthfully I missed it.
@@armoredcorelore Happens to the best of us, it's honestly really hard to see in-game.
@@the24thcolossusjustchillin39 I should have been more alert to be honest. I even have gone back now and looked. I can see it clearly when I go into photo mode after I take him out.
@@armoredcorelore how would you say it affects Headbringers playstyle though? Swapping the generator, arms and particularly the shield out seems like it would make it much more aggressive
@@the24thcolossusjustchillin39 I would have to say that unlike the old head bringer this version really is about overpowering a foe.
Having run the craft myself now I admit there really is not a defensive style to use with this build. It's a case of the best defence is a good offence for this craft.
Felt annoyed everytime I faced him, no more so than the reveal that he's the final boss. Having this forgettable speedbumb pestering me in lieu of facing more interesting characters made me question why Fromsoft was determined to show him my throat my first playthrourghs.
Maybe just coping heavily, but you kinda learn to appreciate Salt-guazu knowing that's reaction the developers wanted you to feel.
He's nothing, and his Napoleon complex-sized ego can't stand the Raven/Player's dismissal of him.
I think he could have been used better in the allmind ending to be honest even if he was not the boss or even better worked with 621 to take out allmind. Now that would have been so much better. But personal thought aside, the writing of this character was good, i just think either you embraced him or dread seeing him again as he goes on and on about beating 621.
We wish Iquazu had died in a previous encounter with C4-621. We would have been spared the disappointment.
Hay lad just asking,
Did you watch vaati's armored core video?
I have not. Though i hear its very good though.
@@armoredcorelore Oh okay
jesus christ youtube ads are getting ridiculous.
I am going to have to ask. What's going on with them?
Who?
No one important. Now rummy and brute...
The definition of loser😂
Ah poor Iguazu.
